| 3 | If Trump shows up for jury duty in New York on Monday, Aug. 17 _ he's failed to appear five times since 2006 _ he will join a long list of celebrities who have made the trip to lower Manhattan to sit with hundreds of others who could be picked to decide trials. |

| 8 | Trump was due to report for jury duty Monday in Manhattan. |
| 9 | Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump took a break Monday from courting voters to go to court as a potential juror. |
| 10 | Trump shook hands and fist-bumped bystanders as he reported for jury duty at a Manhattan court, arriving in a limousine. |
| 11 | "The wall will work," he declared Monday when a passer-by at the courthouse asked about an element of his immigration platform: making Mexico pay for a permanent border wall. |
| 12 | Surrounded by a crush of cameras and reporters as he walked up the courthouse steps, Trump waited in a security line before going to the jury room, where a murmur arose from the roughly 75 potential jurors gathered when he entered and an officer shook his hand. |
| 13 | A court officer escorted him to a seat in the front row. |
| 14 | Accompanied by what appeared to be a security guard and an aide, he arrived in time to catch the end of an instructional video about jury duty basics, and he filled out a juror questionnaire asking about biographical basics, occupation, hobbies, experiences with crime and courts and whether the prospective juror is "actively involved in any civil, social, union, professional or other organizations." |
| 15 | Jury assembly supervisor Irene Laracuenta told the possible jurors that their commitment would be either one day or one civil trial, depending on whether they were selected. |
| 16 | "No one - no one - gets special treatment," Laracuenta said. |
| 17 | If Trump isn't picked for a jury by the end of Monday, he's exempt from jury duty for the next six years. |
| 18 | Jurors who do get chosen are told to expect to sit for at least one week, but trials can last for months. |
| 19 | The GOP front-runner said last week he was "looking forward to appearing" for jury duty. |
| 20 | The real estate mogul and reality TV star has been called previously but didn't appear; a spokesman has said Trump never got the summonses because they had been sent to the wrong address. |
| 21 | Over the years, many celebrities have been called for jury duty in New York City. |
| 22 | They include Madonna, Spike Lee, and Woody Allen. |
| 23 | Former mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudolph Giuliani both were called while in office; Giuliani actually served as foreman on a civil personal-injury case. |
| 24 | Former President Bill Clinton was seriously considered, though he didn't actually have to appear, for an attempted murder case in Manhattan federal court in 2003. |
